Golf At The Wharf
In February AIG Baker purchased Gulf
Shores Golf Club with the intention of offering it as a resort amenity at
The Wharf. It is now known as The Golf Club of The Wharf. In April the
first tournament, the Ken Stabler Alabama Celebrity Classic, was held. The
course recently underwent $5 million in renovations.
The Golf Club of The Wharf Adds ProLink GPS to Help Golfers Navigate Changes
Formerly called Gulf Shores Golf Club, The Golf Club of The Wharf
underwent an extensive renovation in 2005-06 at the hands of father-son
design team Jay and Carter Morrish. The overhaul lengthened the par-71
course by 300 yards and added numerous water features, bunkers and enhanced
fairways. Now boasting five sets of tees ranging from 4,866 to 6,919 yards,
the club is associated with The Wharf resort development in nearby Orange
Beach, Ala.
ProLink Solutions, the world's leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite
("GPS") golf course management systems and digital out-of-home on-course
advertising, today announced The Golf Club of The Wharf (Gulf Shores, Ala.)
now features the ProLink Solutions GPS system used at many of the world's
most famous golf courses.
"Thanks to ProLink GPS, our longtime golfers are able to quickly
familiarize themselves with the changes to the course," said Rea
Schuessler, Head Golf Professional at The Golf Club of the Wharf. "It's
also a great tool for speeding pace of play, managing carts and food and
beverage functions, while the advertising revenue-share component makes
ProLink a truly sound investment."
The Golf Club of The Wharf joins popular state neighbors including
Soldiers Creek at Woerner Preserve Resort (Elberta), Peninsula Golf Club
(Gulf Shores) and Ol' Colony Golf Complex (Tuscaloosa) in providing its
guests the benefits of the ProLink system.
"The recent redesign has transformed The Golf Club of The Wharf into
one of the region's top courses, and we're proud to count it among our
trusted partners," said Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions.
"Courses from coast to coast recognize the tremendous return on investment
our system delivers, as evidenced by ProLink's expansive network and
high-end advertising partners."
With ProLink's patented, 10.4" high-resolution color screen -- the
industry's largest -- The Golf Club of The Wharf's cart-mounted units
display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and
hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only
holes. Golfers at The Golf Club of The Wharf will also be able to order
food and beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProLink screen.
